| Description |
Afrikaans: Apollo die Pythondoder deur Praxiteles, 'n skepping van om en by 350 v.C. uit brons en koper met klipinleg, uitgestal by die Cleveland-kunsmuseum in Cleveland, Ohio, in die Verenigde State. Praxiteles was 'n Griekse beeldhouer wat van ongeveer 400 v.C. tot 330 v.C. geleef het. Vandag is hy bekend vir sy marmerwerke, maar hy het ook verskeie beeldhouwerke in brons geskep.
Hierdie werk het oorspronklik Apollo met pyl in die hand uitgebeeld, waar hy 'n skraal lourierboom terugtrek om 'n akkedis wat teen die stam opkruip, bloot te lê. Hierdie standbeeld kan die een wees wat Plinius die ouere in die 1ste eeu n.C. gesien het. Twee marmerkopieë, wat honderde jare later in Rome gemaak is, is onderskeidelik in die Louvre en Vatikaanstad. Dit is die enigste bekende lewensgroot bronsweergawe, en die enigste groot bronsbeeld wat aan 'n Griekse beeldhouer toegeskryf kan word. Die standbeeld is in die oudheid beskadig en verskeie kere herstel. Op 'n stadium is dit erg beskadig – die boom, akkedis en arms het naamlik in die slag gebly. Die werk het koperinlegsels vir die lippe en tepels, en klipinsetsels vir oë. Die regteroog is oorspronklik van dié werk, maar die linkeroog 'n restourasie. Die standbeeld vertoon die androgene sensualiteit en ontspanne, grasieuse rondings tipies van Praxiteles se kunsstyl. Lewensgroot Griekse standbeelde was ongewoon. Hiervan was die bronswerke die bestes, maar min het oorleef.English: Apollo the Python-Slayer by Praxiteles, on display at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Cleveland, Ohio, in the United States.
Made c. 350 BC Bronze, copper, and stone inlay Praxiteles was a Greek sculptor who lived from about 400 BC to 330 BC. Today, he is renowned for his marble works. But he also created several sculptures in bronze. This work originally depicted Apollo with an arrow in his hand, pulling back a slender laurel tree to expose a lizard creeping up the trunk. This statue may be the one Pliny the Elder saw in the 1st century ad. Two marble copies, made hundreds of years later in Rome, are in the Louvre and the Vatican. This the only known life-size bronze version, and is the only large bronze statue that can be attributed to a Greek sculptor. The statue was damaged in antiquity, and repaired several times. At some point, it was heavily damaged -- losing the tree, lizard, and arms. The work features copper inlays to make the lips and nipples, and stone inserts for eyes. (The right eye is original to the work; the left is a restoration.) The statue features the androgynous sensuality and languid, graceful curves typical of Praxiteles' art. Life-size Greek statues were uncommon. Of these, the bronzes were the best but few have survived. |
